Legal marijuana better investment than Facebook or Google

Sales of legal marijuana and investment in the “herbal sector” were so good in 2016 in the USA that its growth beat most of DotCom companies including Google and Facebook, providing total $9 billion in revenues.

Marijuana business started to grow in 2016 after the legalization of “recreational drugs” in most States. Sales went up by +30% compared to the previous year and with total value of $9 billion has become a powerful branch of the economy, providing income to businesses, taxes to pay, but also creating many new jobs in whole sector.

Job advertisements in the marijuana sector  – from the “Trimmer”, “Budtender”, to the driver, logistics coordinator and computer graphic designer. Industry has already generated thousands of new jobs in the US, which is great news.

Cannabis business growth does not slow down  so you can expect that the market will grow by at least the same amount in 2017. Outside US new countries are opening too on legal cannabis – recreational or medicine. I suggest investing in those stocks with a leverage and hold it to the end of the year. Your earnings should grow just easily as a cannabis grow in a hot cabinet.
